Ngaruroro: a new model for Māori well-being w/ PhD researcher at Victoria University, Finely Ngarangi Johnson (Rongomaiwahine, Ngāti Kahungunu)

Ngaruroro is a brand new Māori well-being. 

Created to fill a gap in self-reporting well-being models; Ngaruroro ‘s development was a collaborative process.

The model includes eight key themes in relation to wellbeing;

1) Here tāngata (social and familial ties)

2) Te taiao (the environment)

3) Taonga tuku iho (cultural treasures)

 4) Tinana (body) 

 5) Wairua (spirit)

 6) Ngākau (inner-system)

7) Matea (core needs)

and,

 8) Mana (authority)
